Out of all the cars I’ve reviewed thus far, I heard the most “I want that!” exclamations and ride requests from friends for\u00a0the 2014 Fiat 500L 4-door hatchback. The unique and playful lines definitely make it appealing to both sexes \u2013\u00a0women think it’s cute and men just want to take it to the beach and chill. Plus, it’s so crazy roomy inside despite it’s misleading exterior.<\/p>\n

In the 2014 Fiat 500L<\/a>, doors open wide, there’s plenty of leg room and head room, the panoramic sunroof extends all the way with a mesh screen cover, fabric is easy to clean, there’s a 3-prong outlet, and the Beats audio system plays crystal clear music with good bass depth. To the sides of the headlights, the 500L also had these Bi-Function Halogen Projector Headlamps that basically lit up the corners as you turned – very cool and helpful. Frans thought the placement of the backup camera in one of the 0’s of the 500L was quite clever.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Both front bucket seats allowed you to adjust the seat height to accommodate for all sizes of drivers. The back seats are positioned high so even those with long legs had plenty of space. The second row could also slide forward to create more room in the cargo area. Speaking of which, this had a good amount of space for whatever you need to throw back there. The cargo area was about the size of Speckles crate so she was able to snugly enjoy the back after our excursion to one of our favorite\u00a0beaches<\/a>. There’s also a little ledge near each door, making it easy to wipe the dirt off our sandy feet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One feature that I just couldn’t get over was the amazing driving visibility in the 500L The windows curved all the way around the car, allowing you to see everything around you. It gave the same open feeling of standing in a room with floor-to-ceiling windows. I loved it!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The power was sufficient but I found it to be just a bit lacking. Transition between gears wasn’t too smooth but at least the ride was quiet. Handling was very light and sometimes I did feel a bit top heavy on corners. Overall, though, it was enjoyable and easy to drive the 500L. Plus, all the seats were really comfortable.<\/p>\n2014 Fiat 500L Review –\u00a0Visibility and Power<\/h3>\n
